The story behind the bottle.
Bvlgari Man Terrae Essence, launched in 2021 and crafted by Alberto Morillas, is a Woody fragrance that embodies the essence of earth and citrus. The composition opens with bright notes of citron and calamansi, creating a crisp freshness that contrasts beautifully with the deeper, richer undertones of vetiver and orris. These earthy and aromatic elements are further enhanced by styrax, adding warmth and complexity to the base. This fragrance is neither overtly masculine nor feminine, making it suitable for any gender.
Apply one to two sprays on pulse points. The citrus top notes are bright but fade within an hour, making way for the deeper vetiver and orris base. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear as it maintains a moderate sillage and longevity.
